Hi, my name is Sue and I live with my partner in a village in Derbyshire. I love all kinds of mixed media crafting and am never happier than when I'm elbow deep in paint ! I hope you enjoy your visit !

Isabella's Sketchbook Challenge

This week over at Isabella's Sketchbook we want to see you use your scraps ! Let's face it we've all got loads of those little pieces laying around that we don't want to throw away. So gather them together and see what you come up with ! None of the pieces can be larger than 3" x 3" except the card blank. When I saw this challenge my mind immediately went to patchwork ! The very background layer is made from 4 pieces of card stuck together and then the next layer is 9 squares that I've stuck down then sewn zig zag around the edges.

I've shaded the image, which is called Fresh Flowers, with ProMarkers and then cut it out using Labels 3 Nestabilities. The swirl is also cut from a scrap piece of Stampin' Up card using a Tim Holtz die.

I quite surprised myself with this card as I didn't use any Distress Inks !

Hi Sue, love the patchwork effect going on here, it looks fab. I was thinking of you today as i attempted to distress something. I'm rather pleased with myself for facing the fear (actually two fears as it has a butterfly on it too) but as usual it is not a patch on yours!Great work!Linds xx

Wonderful, Sue! I love the color palette you have used - such a lovely array of colors, patterns and textures!

I hope you'll be able to play over at the new Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge. Your vintage style is perfect for that blog and have you seen the seriously amazing prize this week? Hope to see you there.
